Note: the items without the HFCS have Splenda, and I am backing off sucralose (Splenda) and aspartame on general suspicion, though aspartame may have issues. I am always on the lookout for allergens. (work in progress)

Simplest ingredients in Seedless raspberry jam (my favorite!) are in d'arbo, Mrs. Miller's Amish, Stonewall Kitchen, Grandma's Jam House, Tiptree. ... these are not promotions! just a web search result)

I first ran into seedless raspberry jam at one of the TJX/Marshalls stores, under the Kozlowski Farms label. Hard to find (except for the ultra-hot ones on Amazon) Looks to still exist, and I might have to visit!

Take a look at Microsoft's acquisitions (include powerpoint, hotmail, visio, github, Nokia, LinkedIn and so on )

Not to mention the anti-competitive acquisitions by Facebook and Google et. al.

A very long slumber by the anti-trust division (every year of GOP administrations ... )

A great deal of the economy is built on M&A and stock buybacks.
